#1: Bootstrapped and Profitable

Bootstrapped

About this episode

In this episode, Ian and Andrey talk about running a web-app company vs. running a mobile-app company, having one large product vs. many smaller products, starting out by making products ‘because you can’, instead of products that have a market, SaaS and recurring revenue, Enron email and spam filters, how the iPhone almost brought down Andrey’s company, planning vs. falling into it, being late to the SaaS party, installable software and support, B2B vs. B2C, and things that seemed exciting in the first year of running a software company, but are a chore to do 9 years later.

Two software companies, Userscape, founded in 2004, and Antair, founded in 2005.

Both companies, bootstrapped and profitable.

Join Ian and Andrey, the founders, as they share their experiences in running their companies.
